What NHTSA recorded

The differential output shaft retaining rings on the rear suspension can become displaced allowing the output shaft to become detached from the differential unit.

Possible consequence

If the output shaft separates, the rear suspension would collapse on the affected side resulting in loss of control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the vehicle's differential serial number and repair or replace the necessary parts.
